Eating Disorder Counselor

Sarah Gregory, MA, LMHCA

MA Professional Counselor

For those struggling with an eating disorder, please hear me when I say there is hope for full healing and recovery! When working through this struggle, I take a two-prong approach: initially, as we begin to build trust and understanding within the therapeutic relationship, our focus is primarily behavior-oriented. I utilize cognitive behavior therapy during this time, which essentially looks at how our thoughts influence our behavior and, thus, correcting unhealthy thoughts can correct unhealthy behaviors. Additionally, I think it is important over time to search out the root cause that bore these symptoms in order to prevent future relapse. I would be honored to walk with you through this.

Living in a culture obsessed with looks, weight, and eternal youth, it is understandable that so many of us struggle in our relationship with our bodies and food. It can be a painful exhausting struggle because of its daily unrelenting nature. You may have tried to control your eating habits according to “good advice” about healthy living, exercise, and nutrition. But often, this is not enough and does not even begin to scratch the surface on the important feelings, thoughts, and experiences behind your relationship with food. In our work together, we will discover what you are really hungry for – you will feel relief and connected with yourself in lasting and profound ways.

There is a commonly held view that eating disorders are a lifestyle choice. Eating disorders are actually serious and often fatal illnesses that cause severe disturbances to a person’s eating behaviors. Obsessions with food, body weight, and shape may also signal an eating disorder. Common eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder.
To reduce or eliminate binge-eating and purging behaviors, people may undergo cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which is another type of psychotherapy that helps a person learn how to identify distorted or unhelpful thinking patterns and recognize and change inaccurate beliefs.

Does food exert a powerful and negative influence in your life? Does food provide the comfort you do not
have in your relationships? Together, we can look at the powerful attraction that food has for you and work to overcome it so that food is put in its place: noticing when you are full, able to savor with pleasure what you eat and eating to provide nutrition and healing for your body. We will work to strengthen real self love and compassion in order to break the enslavement to food.

Diane Calder, Registered State of Oregon

Clinical Mental Health Counselor, MA

In treating some eating disorders, it is important to recognize the cognitive distortions and/or traumas that have made the need to control so important to the client. In other eating disorders, the need to control is displaced by a need to soothe and comfort oneself. In most of these cases, an integrative approach of emotion-focused work, dialectical strategies, as well as cognitive behavioral treatment can many times give the client the tools that they need in order to find better ways to cope and live.

Deborah Orandon, MS, LPC, NCC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Our relationship with food expresses our most basic feelings about having a body. But those words don't convey what eating disorders feel like. Compulsions to binge, starve or purge feel like they are in control, not you--they don't respond to reason. It's a secret life-or-death battle all day, every day that no one knows you are fighting. It's fraught with anxiety--exhausting & it is hard to imagine that anything could end it. But Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a way to listen differently to the feelings themselves in order to access the story of what is really wrong, & what you truly need to calm these terrified inner parts involved in the cycle, & to create change from the inside out.
